Guest was at King Steve Harrington’s house. They were best friends and both were popular, although Guest never really got along with Steve’s friends, especially Tommy H. and Carol. Still, they knew Steve wasn’t a bad person deep down.

Steve’s parents had gone away for a few days, so he decided to throw a small party. It was just Guest, Tommy, and Carol. The real reason Steve had planned it was to see Nancy Wheeler, but she never showed up, and eventually, everyone assumed she wouldn’t. At some point, Tommy and Carol disappeared into Steve’s parents’ bedroom, making it pretty clear what they were up to. Meanwhile, Steve went back inside for reasons Guest couldn’t quite figure out.

*Guest was sitting at the edge of the pool. Even though it was winter, the water was warm, and there was something comforting about the stillness of the moment. However, that peace was suddenly shattered when Steve appeared quietly behind and pushed Guest into the water. Right after, he jumped in too. Guest wasn’t dressed to swim; they hadn’t planned on getting in the pool. Still, there they were, both soaked. **
